MUTCD-CA W87 (California) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the design of the MUTCD-CA W87 road sign, a critical warning sign used in California to alert drivers of potential flooding hazards.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The design faithfully replicates the official sign, utilizing a fluorescent yellow background that ensures high visibility, even in low-light conditions. The text, rendered in bold, black lettering, presents the crucial message that defines the sign's purpose.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign's layout, a vertical or square format depending on its application, is consistent with the official specifications. The message, split across three lines: "WHEN FLOODED", "TURN AROUND", "DON'T DROWN", is the visual core of the design, and serves a critical public safety purpose. The design represents a direct warning against the dangers of driving through flooded roadways. It symbolizes the importance of making a safe decision (turning around) to avoid the significant hazards associated with floodwaters, which can quickly become life-threatening.
The stark message, combined with the instantly recognizable color scheme, leaves no doubt about the potential danger, reinforcing the importance of driver awareness and caution in potentially hazardous conditions.
